My daily life with the Shiina sisters

After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little awkward. It was obvious that what Imagawa Kaede had just said on the phone was intended to cause the other party to misunderstand.

Shiina Mahiru naturally also heard that the other party should be Shinomiya Kaguya. The two of them had originally had no intersection with this person.

She couldn't really tell what she thought of her, she was a little envious and a little jealous. (Of course, she didn't know the current situation of the Shinomiya family.)

Her eyes involuntarily turned to Imagawa Kaede, who noticed her gaze and quickly explained:

"I really have no feelings for her anymore. I just want to live a good life with you now. I...I'm sorry, I was just talking to myself."

He lowered his eyes and said this deliberately. With his handsome appearance, he naturally gave people the feeling of a melancholy prince.

Shiina Mahiru suddenly felt very strange. She was clearly the victim, so why did she feel a little guilty?

"Would you like some more fish soup?"

Shiina Mahiru was still immersed in her own thoughts and ignored Imagawa Kaede.

Imagawa Kaede naturally expected this, and just silently put the empty bowl on the tray, then took a few napkins and handed them to her, then removed the bedside table and tray.

Imagawa Kaede was thinking about something else at the moment, so his attention was naturally not particularly focused, and this look seemed very lonely to Shiina Mahiru.

She thought about the piece of paper on the tray, the crookedly cut tofu cubes, the Band-Aid on his finger, and the cautiousness in his words and actions just now.

Imagawa Kaede looked at her distracted look and knew that he might just be missing an opportunity, but he didn't know what this opportunity would be.

However, when he returned to the dining table to finish his lunch, a message suddenly popped up on LINE. The message came from his mother's assistant, Aunt Asai.

[Madam will be here around 2 o'clock. Please bear with it and admit your mistakes.]

Imagawa Kaede was a little helpless. His family was a typical family with a kind father and a strict mother. Even if his step-father was angry, he would not hit her because his mother would not allow him to do so.

That’s right, although his father has the final say outside, at home his mother has the final say and no one dares to disagree.

Otherwise, when Yoshikiyoshi Imagawa mentioned on the phone that his mother would come over, he wouldn't have trembled for no reason. This was all muscle memory formed over the years.

Imagawa Kaede ate her meal nervously, but Shiina Mahiru came out changed into home clothes.

She first looked at Imagawa Kaede's back, then walked into the kitchen. Seeing that the kitchen was relatively clean, she felt relieved.

According to the tradition of this island country, men usually do not enter the kitchen at home, otherwise the wife as the hostess will feel ashamed. Just like the battlefield of men is in the workplace, the family has become the battlefield of women. Women who do not manage their families well will be looked down upon by others.

Shiina Mahiru has lived here for nearly half a year, so it is no wonder that she subconsciously regards herself as the hostess here.

Imagawa Kaede was a little unhappy when he saw this scene. Why was he wandering around instead of taking good care of his health?

"Why did you come out? Go back and have some rest. I'll take care of this."

Shiina Mahiru looked a little unhappy, but she ignored him and went to check the refrigerator instead.

"Why don't you just go back and rest? I'll go buy some groceries this afternoon. Since you're not feeling well right now, why don't you just rest a little more?"

As he said that, he picked up Shiina Mahiru in a princess hug. Shiina Mahiru's body was suddenly suspended in the air, and she subconsciously wanted to struggle.

"Don't move, I'll carry you back to rest."

Imagawa Kaede's physical strength of 5 points is just at the average person's level. If it weren't for the three meals a day taken care of by Mahiru, his body would have been drained by the original owner's irregular schedule and alcoholism.

Fortunately, Shiina Mahiru is a relatively light girl, so Imagawa Kaede didn't embarrass himself, but this also strengthened his determination to exercise.

Shiina Mahiru was half-heartedly carried back to the bedroom by Imagawa Kaede. After Imagawa Kaede finished her meal and washed the dishes, she sat on the sofa nervously waiting for her mother to arrive.

What is coming cannot be avoided. The doorbell rang twice and Imagawa Kaede was about to open the door, but the door was opened directly. They bought the house, so it was normal to have a spare key.

Imagawa Kaede just arrived at the entrance, and the door was closed again. The person who came was a very beautiful and dignified woman. Her simple professional attire gave people the feeling of a cold female president.

After seeing Imagawa Kaede, her originally cold eyes showed a rare hint of tenderness. It is worth mentioning that Imagawa Kaede's eyebrows and eyes are like they were carved from the same mold as hers.

The person who came was his mother, Imagawa Mikiko. There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes. She trembled as if she wanted to say something, but then she held it back.

She just raised her hand, and then there was a "pa!" sound, and Imagawa Kaede was slapped hard in the face.

A red slap mark suddenly appeared on the originally fair face, and Imagawa Kaede also felt a burning sensation on his face.

Imagawa Mikiko came over to take a look, and when she found that he was not seriously injured, she gently kicked him and said loudly:

"Where's Mahiru?"

"Rest in the bedroom."

Upon hearing this, Imagawa Mikiko glared at him fiercely.

"What are you still standing there for? Come over here quickly."

As he said that, he brought him to the door of Shiina Mahiru. There was some noise coming from inside, and it was obvious that the people inside also knew what was happening outside.

When they entered the room, they saw Shiina Mahiru had already gotten out of bed, and Imagawa Kaede was very considerate and helped her back down.

Imagawa Mikiko was very satisfied with his behavior, but she certainly couldn't say that at the moment.

"You're showing off now. What were you doing before? If I lose such a good daughter-in-law like Mahiru, I won't want you as my son anymore. I will then adopt Mahiru as my daughter. You can go find your father and we'll live together from now on."

Imagawa Kaede couldn't respond to this, but his mother naturally wouldn't let him stand there.

"Don't be an eyesore here. Go kneel over there." As she said that, she walked over to Shiina Mahiru and sat down next to her.

Imagawa Kaede obediently went over there and knelt, and gave his mother a thumbs up. It seemed that his mother also saw through his wife's character.

Shiina Mahiru looked at the obvious slap marks on his face, and the way he knelt there looked a little pitiful.

Her heart softened. "Auntie, that..."

Before she finished speaking, Imagawa Mikiko interrupted her and turned to Imagawa Kaede beside her and said:

"Kneel down better. Look at you. Mahiru doesn't even want to call me mom."

"No, Kasan, don't let him..."

"No, I'm here today to give you justice, so let him continue to kneel."

"Kasan, don't let him kneel here." Shiina Mahiru pulled Imagawa Mikiko's clothes and said with a pleading tone.

Upon hearing this, Imagawa Mikiko sighed in dissatisfaction and said with some emotion:

"What good fortune did this bastard have in his previous life to be able to find a girl as good as you as his wife?"

"Why are you still standing there? Can't you see that Mahiru and I are thirsty? Go make a pot of tea."
